Yinhu eternal life

In the end, Yinhu was of course content to have a meal at the prince's place, and took two jade pendants with him when he left.

Later, Yinhu didn't know what the prince said to Kangxi.

However, I haven't seen any policies from the imperial court in a short period of time. Yinhu asked the prince to inquire, it seems that the imperial court has no money, and these things need to be planned slowly.

No matter how many ideas are to be implemented, financial support is needed. The main tax revenues of the national treasury are agricultural tax, salt tax and population tax, and most of them are collected from the poorest people at the bottom.

These people are already living a hard life, and they can't eat meat all year round. For the sake of reputation, it is impossible for the imperial court to collect this part of the tax.In the event of floods or droughts, the tax will be reduced or exempted for several years, and treasuries will be opened for disaster relief.

Increasing the silver deposit in the national treasury is the first thing to solve, otherwise everything is just idle talk, Yinhu thought for a while, and wandered leisurely to the prince's palace.

"Is Brother Prince busy? I'm here to find you."

Yinhu came in familiarly, and the people who served the prince were also familiar with this eighth elder brother.

"Eighth Brother will not be busy when he comes here, there is nothing urgent." The prince smiled sincerely, and he was very happy to be close to Eighth Brother.

"Don't you like the cherries that Huang Ama just sent? You must have sent them there too. Don't be greedy when you go back."

There are not many fruits that are paid as tribute, and not all the masters in the palace have them, like those concubines who are not favored.

The prince put a plate of bright red cherries in front of Yinhu.

Well, every time I come to Brother Prince, there are delicious food.

The two chatted without saying a word while eating cherries. Being with the eighth brother like this was a rare moment for the prince to relax, and the whole person was a little lazy.

Seeing that Yinhu had eaten a lot, the prince stopped Yinhu's claws stretching towards the plate in time, and he couldn't eat any more, because his stomach would get cold.

Yinhu looked at the fruit of Shui Lingling reluctantly, then obediently took the handkerchief and wiped his hands.

It's okay, I'll go back later, I still have it there!

"Brother Prince, I have something important to tell you." Yinhu sat up straight.

"Oh?" Yinfeng also corrected his attitude, and led Yinhu to the study room. Every time his younger brother said something serious, he couldn't help but pay attention to it.

"Because there is no money in the national treasury, we can't do many things. People say to increase revenue and reduce expenditure. Brother Prince, let's think about what we can do today?"

"There's nothing the two of us can't talk about, even if you think naively, you're not allowed to laugh at me."

"The courtiers may have some concerns, and they can't make any suggestions. The two of us don't need to think too much, let's not care whether it can be implemented or not."

OK, there must be a way. "

Yinhu thought about it, and it is better to discuss these matters with the prince. The prince is the heir cultivated by Kangxi. His overall view is much better than other princes. If the prince is good, there will be less turmoil. Only then can everyone be good .

"Okay, let's think about it."

Seeing that Yinhu took out the pen and paper to look decent, Yinrong was also very interested. Maybe there is a good way?A little bit of excitement and anticipation.

"Now our national treasury mainly comes from agricultural tax, tax, salt tax, tea tax, population tax, water transportation tax..." Yinhu carefully recorded each item on paper.

Yinfeng also looked at it seriously and added that he had already studied politics with Kangxi, and he studied it very hard, and his memory was not bad. He knew these things well.

"Agricultural tax is here to increase agricultural income, open up wasteland and increase production. Let's write it down first."

"... "

"Population tax here, we are short of population, it is not appropriate to increase the population tax now."

"... "

"Some people say that a certain businessman is as rich as an enemy, why don't we increase business taxes?"

"The eighth brother thinks things too simply. Those businessmen are backed by ministers. It is difficult to carry out this policy." Yinfeng thought for a while and said.

"Let's write it down first. As long as Huang Ama is determined to implement it, there will always be a way to deal with those ministers. Those ministers are not of one mind. We will change little by little so as not to arouse their vigilance."

"I heard that there is a word called boiling frogs in warm water. It feels wonderful. Of course, these specific plans need to be discussed with the prince's brother and Huang Ama. Yinhu doesn't understand."

"Xiao Ba knows a lot, and the prince is ashamed of himself." Xiao Ba can often come up with ideas that others can't think of, and Yinfeng's words are very sincere.

Yinhu put down his pen and approached the prince, "It's not that Yinhu knows a lot, it's just that Yinhu's position is different from other people's. Just like the prince's brother said, because ministers rely on businessmen behind them, they will not propose to raise commercial taxes."

"And suggestions like increasing grain production have not been mentioned because it has been like this for thousands of years. It depends on the sky, and the increase in production will not go anywhere, so no one will mention it. Yinhu dares to mention it because we have not tried it ourselves. Why don't you try it yourself? It's like smallpox, the predecessors couldn't do it, but we can do it too?"

Speaking of this, Yinhu blushed a little, but it was actually because she had seen the afterlife, where there was no smallpox, no hunger, everyone could eat and wear clothes, and even girls could study and earn money.

He had to admit that it was a paradise-like world, and there was a lot they could do, and he also wanted to make life better for the people living in this sky.
